Book 1: Chapter 167

A whistling sound suddenly came and the four of us covered our heads right as a mortar shell exploded beside us. After so many years, this wasnt the firstor even secondtime that I had been bombed, but it was definitely the first time that I had been bombarded by mortars. Not to mention the ringing in my ears, dead leaves and mud were falling all over the sky and I spat out a mouthful of black gunk.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Kan Jian looked at me in horror and stuttered, "Bo- Bo- Boss, why is there a war here?"

I climbed to the edge of the pit and picked up my binoculars, but I couldn't see anything because of the tree canopies. I heard another whistle and knew another mortar was coming in. But as I listened, my instincts told me that something was wrong. Before I could speak, Liu Sangs complexion drastically changed.

"Run!" He shouted.

We all rolled out of the pit and ran more than a dozen steps just as the shell hit our pit. We fell to the ground and Liu Sang shouted, "Turn off the flashlights, turn off the flashlights!"

"Don't turn them off, I shouted, Throw them away!"

Kan Jian pulled his big white arm back in a big arc, bulged his muscles, and threw the flashlight directly into the air. It slowly fell down and landed firmly at his feet. I looked at him and he looked at me before he made a move like he was going to stretch.

I went up with a flying kick, "Throw it out! Dont throw it up!

I picked up the flashlight and threw it into the distance. Liu Sang used a kick-off action to kick his own flashlight more than ten meters away.

Liu Sang scolded, "I saw him on the fourth floor. Hes really skilled at artillery. His name is Kong San and hes from Yinchuan. Weve also played mahjong together. That bastard definitely doesnt want to pay back the money." After he said that, he shouted, "I dont need the mahjong money!"

A strong northwest accent soon came from the mountainside and echoed throughout the valley, "Im not here to negotiate that with you. Just hand over Wu Xie and you can go. I dont want you."

Liu Sang yelled back, "They have three people and I'm here alone. I going to fucking lose if I fight them." Then he said to me, "Why dont you sacrifice yourself?"

I scolded him for being so nervous about the poisonous gas. If we hid here, it didnt necessarily mean that we would die. In fact, if Boss Jiao's people came down to the bottom of this valley, it might save us some trouble. Moreover, we didnt know whether it was actually poisonous gas or not.

Liu Sang looked at me and said, "Wu Xie, do you think I'm being dramatic? If I'm not being dramatic, then do you think I'm acting so scared just to mess with you? Let me fucking lay it out for you. I know what I'm talking about. I'm in this team because my ears can extend your range of perception from a hundred meters up to two kilometers. Im telling you that within two kilometers of this area, I can hear more than two hundred clusters of poisonous gas. More than two hundred! Get that into that thick skull of yours! The number of clusters is more than the number of your stupid brain cells combined! We have to bury ourselves!

When he was finished screaming at me, I looked at him coldly. "You want a pit?" I snapped on my flashlight, threw it six or seven meters away from us, and then hid behind the tree. A mortar shell arrived the very next instant. With a loud bong, dead leaves and mud rained down from the sky. Before everything had finished falling, I grabbed Liu Sang and rushed to where the shell had landed. There was now a big crater in the ground, so I quickly kicked him into it.
